" And then I told em' flat out..my hoes ain't for sale. Now we ain't together, so if we done talking business..you can go my nigga."

Adrian's mom, Tameka, was telling us about how she use to pimp back in the late 80's. Single, rich, black female running things, and she was only 5'2 .

She was the largest "Hoe Manufacturer" in New York and with Mehki running the drug game, she had practically no competition...

Or that's what she thought.

"Anyway..

"Look, we fucked, that's it. I'm barren and I got a business to run. I ain't tryna settle down with yo white ass."

I had to interrupt.

"Wait, hold on, you saying you slept with ole dude, he got attached, and you ended up finding out that he was mad and wanted to take down your empire because of it?"

Tameka nodded her head as some local celebrity she supported poured from the speakers into the leather of her black Cadillac.

I turned to Jay who was shaking her head in her hands.

"Miss Meka, why are you telling me this. I ain't being rude or nothing, its just.." I looked at Jayla who was looking back and forth at me and Meka.

"..This is exactly what's goin on with us." I said sighing.

" I know. Brandon is the niggas son." I wanted to stop her and ask another million questions so freaking bad man, but I shut up.

" Mehki found out about me and Alec after a big fucking war broke out. I've been trying to keep that shit under wraps from Dre and Dom for about 20 years now. After that big dumb fiasco, I quit the game. Gave my best friend Shani my empire and stepped down to be a mom for my brothers kids. Dumbest plan I'd ever heard when they told me they wanted to split them boys up, but that wasn't my role."

After making sure we were listening, she continued.

" Brandon was already 5 when Adrian and Dominic were born. I use to take him when me and his dad were cool since his crack head ass momma was never around. I felt responsible for him. After me and his dad fell out, Mehki warned me about still trying to be a mom to B. I listened, but I had practically raised him, so Alec allowed me to stay in his life. He grew up with the boys and they all became like brothers without knowing how they were even related. When he found out the boys were brothers, he was a little jealous and I began to think a rivalry was about to begin. Nigga, lo isimos."

Nigga, we made it I translated. We arrived at this big ass warehouse with no cars outside of it. Meka put on her sunglasses and drove all the way up to the front door. I mean her Cadillac pendent was touching the door when she put the car in park, stepped out and typed something into a keypad I hadn't seen at first.

The door raised up, revealing a garage type room. She hopped back in and drove inside where hundreds of other cars were seated beautifully.

Audi's, Cadillacs, Porsche's, the list went on.
